Yes, this purifier has a large carbon filter, which removes VOCs / gasses / smells (including everything you've mentioned).

@ Thank you very much.

@@artistnorishirasu My pleasure

Nice! I think you'll be pleased with the performance.

That's a great deal for those.

Amazon has multiple 3rd party options. See here - www.amazon.com/s?k=airdoctor+5000+replacement+filters&crid=28O5IOI4JRW4L&sprefix=airdoctor+500%2Caps%2C194&linkCode=ll2&tag=mc_1001-20&linkId=004ecd78bb39957eed7c115cddde9247&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl

What do you mean by self-cleaning?

Our more recent tests make a point to having a more consistent starting point for particulates. Though you're right, some of our older tests had more varied starting levels. In any case, the reason we do a 1 hour test time is because almost any reasonably good air purifier can reduce even a very high particulate count to near zero within 15 minutes. This provides ample extra air cleaning time to account for any inconsistencies in starting particulate levels.

Never heard of AirPro. I'm not really sure how it would compare. Certainly, two 3000 models would work great for almost any space. Given the wildfires, I would suggest you go ahead and order additional filters now. In previous wildfire seasons I've had viewers send me completely blackened filters within just a few weeks of running.

No. Doing so will almost certainly break your machine.

On many Dyson vacuum cleaning heads there will be a set of "gates" (usually red) that can be lifted up. This decreases the suction and helps prevent the vacuum from forming a "seal" on the flooring, making it easier to push. I would try that.

Not one I've tested yet, but I have every expectation it's at least as good as the 5500-2 and likely better.

I really can't say how good / bad the slim version would be, as we only tested the Chubby. Seemingly that should be similar...but that's just a guess.

Unfortunately, we did not have lead in our unfiltered water so we did not test for lead.

That's the language that Levoit uses to describe it. Seemingly...it does not conform to the exact specifications / requirements to be classified as a HEPA filter. Nevertheless, based on its performance, it's still a solid filter and performed as well as any HEPA purifier in our testing.

Fair point. We'll do that next time. Thanks for the suggestion.

You guys so mean about the background music. This must be the 1000th comment telling me how bad the background music is. Please friends...I know. I am sorry. I cannot fix it as I don't have the project file anymore. How long must I bear this cross?

"...isn't impressive and is more psychological than anything" That irony is that's exactly what's happening with ZeroWater and it's their entire marketing strategy. The notion that zero TDS somehow equates pure water is simply false (something I only more fully realized after this video and after sending in a dozen or so laboratory water samples). Getting to a TDS of zero doesn't necessarily mean the water is pure. It just means there are no dissolved solids. But there are numerous contaminants, chemicals, and disinfection byproducts that a TDS meter cannot measure. We sent ZeroWater off for laboratory testing and the lab measured significant disinfection byproducts making Zero's water worse than Brita. You can see the lab reports on Zero, Brita, and 8 other water filters here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpa1eKF-qr6iopo&lc

That's a good idea. Unfortunately, we have had to pause all new testing / videos for the channel as we just weren't able to make it financially work to support our operational costs and expenses.

We've tested multiple Xaomi air purifiers and while they are good, they don't rise to the same performance level as the units we featured in this video. You can see those reviews and the objective testing tests for those units below: moderncastle.com/air-purifiers/xiaomi-smart-air-purifier-pro-4-review/ moderncastle.com/air-purifiers/xiaomi-smart-air-purifier-4-compact-review/

Haha...that's great. We do sound and look a bit alike!

Nice! I'm glad to hear it's working so well for you.

Take a look at the Samsung Bespoke Jet - shop-links.co/cllAT7hFpfo It includes an extra battery that's charged separately.

@ thank you so much. I’ll definitely do that!

@@livingthedream923 My pleasure!

The author? I can't tell...are you insulting me? Complimenting me?

Sorry about the music. It was an oversight during the editing process. Unfortunately, the editor that helped me create the video no longer has the project file so I don't have an easy way to fix the mistake. My apologies.

We do. They simply weren't good enough relative to their price to earn a spot on this list. See those tests below: moderncastle.com/air-purifiers/dyson-pure-cool-tp02-review/ moderncastle.com/air-purifiers/dyson-pure-cool-tp04-review/ moderncastle.com/air-purifiers/dyson-pure-cool-dp04-review/

Unfortunately, air purifiers are more complex than that. It would be misleading for me to simply say "X is best" because there are situations that change when "X is best" and who "X is best" for.

2 pitchers would be an amazing combination. In which case, I agree, Waterdrop and ZeroWater are great choices.

How do you do fellow kids?

I believe it's only the Dyson V12 that has the button. The other models still use the trigger.

Unfortunately, it's not one we have done lab tests on. However, we did do strip and TDS tests. You can see how those - moderncastle.com/water-filters/santevia-alkaline-water-pitcher-review/

I'm not totally sure how that machine works...do you just put regular water into it that it turns into espresso?

Nice! I hope she enjoys it.

If your HVAC is powerful enough then absolutely, using carbon / HEPA filters at the HVAC intake is a great way to improve air quality. However, those types of filters, which are substantially thicker than more typical HVAC filters, put undue stress on your HVAC. They can cause the HVAC to work harder, use more energy, and not last as long. You should always consult a local HVAC tech / company and/or reach out to your HVAC manufacturer to determine if and what types of filters are appropriate for your HVAC.

Sounds to me like a defective unit. In which case, you'll need to return it. You can try to factory reset it and see if that works. Sometimes it can fix weird issues. To factory reset a Roborock, you can do the following: Press and hold the Home button for 3-5 seconds Use a pin to press the Reset button, which is located next to the Wi-Fi LED, once Continue to hold the Home button for 5 seconds after pressing the Reset button Wait for the power button to blink again and for the tone "Restoring the initial version" to play Remove your finger The factory reset process can take about five minutes.

Yes. I thought so at least.
